People forget that Bradbury only qualified for the semifinals because Gagnon was DQ’d for obstruction on the final turn in the QF’s. In the semi-finals 3 of the 5 competitors went down on the final turn and he finished 2nd. Then the same thing happened in the finals. What a legend!

I do inline speed skating (ice skating on the road) and I just loved it. Then one day I fall over someone else, and I didn't skate again for 6 weeks, because it was summer break (or however English people call it). When I got back to skating, I just didn't have the courage to get back into the pack, and also didn't dare to go on my full speed, because I was afraid. But then, after another break, somehow I got back into it and I still do it to this day.

Would like to suggest Aljona Savchenko as well. Kept winning bronze 2 or 3 times in pairs figure skating, then her partner retired but she wanted that gold. Found herself a new partner, everyone said she was crazy, she should just let it be and it would never work but she did it anyway. Her and Bruno Massot skated the short program and fell behind because he made a huge mistake. Then skated the free skate absolutely flawlessly and got that gold finally! I love this story so much!

My Dad and I were literally jumping up and down in front of the TV losing our collective Canadian minds watching that! It was just incredible.

I have immense admiration for Stephen Bradbury, because he skated the best race he could and just look what happened; just too easy to forget that sports are games where the unlikeliest things are possible so you just don’t give up. Also interesting that he well-and-truly paid his “dues” to the sport, recovering from a massive skate cut in the years leading up - PLUS he actually hand-made skates for a number of his rivals, because he just made the best skates.

I think the final stretch of cross country skiing is the most epic. Sure, on the final stretch of every sport every athlete gives it 200%, but I feel like that is most visible in skiing, as the throw everything in their arms in massive downward shoves to give it everything they've got.

To do full justice to Kalla's relay achievement, they should have noted the Finnish skier wasn't out on a Sunday cruise, and Kalla still closed a gap of 25 seconds all on her own. About the USA relay win, not sure all viewers realise how dominated the cross country skiing world is by European countries, and especially Norway.
